Use this topic to discuss themes not related to martial arts. Everyone needs to chat sometimes, discuss some personal ideas, maybe talk about movies or music, please use this topic for that, so we can keep all other themes on the Martial Arts topic.

The Way of the warrior does not include other Ways, such as Confucianism, Buddhism, certain traditions, artistic accomplishments and dancing. But even though these are not part of the Way, if you know the Way broadly you will see it in everything. Men must polish their particular Way.
Musashi Miyamoto, A Book Of Five Rings

"A true martial artist is one who's smile will warm the hearts of little children, and who's anger will make tigers cower in fear."
Master Azato (one of the karate teachers of Gichin Funakoshi - founder of Shotokan karate)
